By Zdravko Cvijeti “To snooze or not to snooze that is the question” — Everyone It took me five years of researching, experimenting, and a lot of excuses, to finally reach a point where waking up early as a habit is under my command. But it was worth it. I presume the reason you are reading this article is that you’ve tried to develop...

By Ali Mese Finally the SMS arrived: “Tomorrow morning 5am, flight number AZ610 from Rome to NewYork.” An SMS hitting my BlackBerry on Sunday evenings used to decide my destination and client for the coming week. I was working for one of the top three global strategy consulting firms. A life packed in a suitcase. A consulting life where you miss out on everything and...

What People Don’t Tell You About Product Management..!!! By  Jason Shen I’ve flipped from founder (Ridejoy) to product manager (Etsy) to founder again (I’m one week into something new).

So rearrange your desk, Marie-Kondo your stuff, take a photo, and post it on Instagram: #readytowork. Reply to every comment with an inspirational quote about cleanliness, like “Decluttering your workspace leads to a productive day.” Consider writing a Medium post about it. Start a draft....

The unexpected upsides to studying numbers. By Alex Korchinski icture a mathematician. What do you see? I’ll conjure up a popular image. It’s late at night. A figure is hunched over a desk scribbling into a notebook. The room smells like graphite dust, eraser shavings and body odor. Numbers and symbols gleam in the lamplight, and a calculator sits idle nearby towering...

By Kris Gage Lightness and letting things breathe “Attachment is the origin, the root of suffering; hence it is the cause of suffering.” — The Dalai Lama Attachment is tragic The basic cause of suffering isn’t that bad things happen. Bad things willalways happen. People will always fall out of love, or leave — in one way or another. Our pain and hurt comes not from change, but from our attachment. We expect things...

By Burak Bilgin This practice can make the difference between success and failure in your startup and in your life. Masterminding is forming a group of people to work together towards the same goal. Think about a board of directors. I know masterminding sounds harder than working by yourself to the introverted computer geek who thinks of starting their own business. You might...

By Michiel Mulders Michael Simmons wrote a great article about the importance of intellectual capital. We fully agree on his opinion and added our comments to the original article related to the blockchain space. Why did the busiest person in the world, former president Barack Obama, read an hour a day while in office? Why has the best investor in history, Warren Buffett, invested 80% of...

By Cronofy While not an exhaustive list, this is also not a list of requirements. Many of the traits are contradictory. In fact, it is the balance of them that is most appealing. You will rarely find them within one individual, which is what makes building teams so interesting. It is hard for one person to encapsulate the following traits in perfect balance, but...

By Nicolas Cole As a startup founder, however, my day actually started late last night. I climbed into bed around 11:14 p.m., after spending two hours working on my next book. I then proceeded to roll around in bed until 12:37 a.m., my mind turning. I woke up this morning at 7:00 a.m. sharp. I originally had my alarm set for 6:30 a.m. but...

By Andrey Azimov I have a dream I want to ship products and earn $1,000 a month doing it. Why $1,000? I’m currently living in Bali, where I can live comfortably off of $1,000 per month. This isn’t San-Francisco or Dubai where $1,000 moves quickly. In Bali, $1,000 can pay for your rent, scooter, eating out three meals a day and most importantly all...

By Ryan Holiday If you read a lot, it can be easy for all the books to blur together. Especially as the years pass, it can be difficult to even remember what books you’ve read are even about. This is where one sentence book summaries come in. Though one should hope to get a lot from every book they read (and if they don’t,...
